Wed Nov 23, 2011 7:11 pm

i have a yellow strip across the top of the page saying "an additional plug-in is required to display some elements on this page" with a box saying (install plug in).
when i do so it makes no difference and re-appeares. Any ideas what i have to do to get rid or solve the problem?

Try rebooting pc first, then Open your browsers option bar - and find the tab that allows you to search/update browser addons.

Failing that go to java website and try a direct search and install update for it. This was especially a pain on the windows Vista OS? Although not sure what OS you are using?

You could also trying updating your browser, can't see it making much of a difference though, sorry :lol: :ayatollah:

There should also be a means of getting more info on the plugin i.e. properties/what is the plugin etc. Find out what it wants to install and post it back here.

If its Java then manually download it from the site:

If that doesn't work, give us a shout :ayatollah:

or go to the circus and look for a gymnast with a book. Hey Presto you will have found an Acrobat Reader. Hope that solves your problem. :lol:

tried most of above but settled on changing my browser from chrome to IE and that seems to have worked...will have a couple of days on IE and then change back to see if it righted itself.....cheers a lot for all the suggestions tho.
